Marie-Antoinette's Gaming Counter

My dear friends, here is a rare Roman amber and yellow metal mounted gaming counter said to have belonged to Marie Antoinette :






The circular amber counter intaglio carved with Cupid shooting arrows at a heart-shaped target with Latin inscription above, now with several breaks being held together in a yellow metal circular mount 4 cm diameter in late 19th century red velvet fitted box with oval printed card to inside of lid 'This piece of amber was once a card counter the property of Marie Antoinette, the unfortunate Queen of France'.
